I noticed your signature. This (if I’m correct) refers to the signals called by Joe Thiesmann during the NFL Films highlight film of Super Bowl XVII.
If you look carefully enough, that exact clip is actually taken from a pre-season game against Miami in August 1982 where Theismann was wearing a wireless mic. The film matches perfectly but if you look carefully, in the sound clip, there is no hair coming out of his helmet. By January 1983 (look at the actual hand-off), his hair was sprouting out from the back of the helmet. On the 1982 season highlight film they use quite a bit more of the sound and you really can tell it is pre-season.
So, he might have said Yellow 40 in the Super Bowl but not from that. Oh, and don’t let the “$40,000 and a big ring” quote fool you, they got that with a boom microphone.
